[Duo2400] Re: somewhat OT: ISPrecommendation?

[Nathan Arthur Elliott]

Wow, that must be nice brandy...
Tom: DNS servers are free to all, so I am actually using a list of 
root dns servers a friend gave me because the qwest dns servers were 
slower.

The only thing an ISP provides when it comes to DSL is an email 
accoutn and a few megs of web space (at $20+ a month).  The ISP are 
not neccisary for connection, and the dns servers are provided by 
quest, or others... (like I said I use the root DNS servers)

does that answer you questions?

If you wanted to host a domain, a static IP is another $5 a month... 
but with a router it rarely changes, and is good enough for loose 
server purposes (especially with a power backup for the router).

In addition I got my first bill from quest today, and due to a 
promotional deal I am only paying for the passthough each month ($8) 
for the next six months; (although it was about $50-70 for 
installation, Ill have to look)

Best,
Nathan Elliott
